Hi all,
I hope you’ve all had a great summer. It was lovely to see so many of you attending our holiday camps!
Thank you for your patience and for getting in touch to register your interest for the new term. I’m really excited to see how the new programme goes and, as always, I welcome any feedback.
A new and improved programme
I’ve added more groups to the timetable this term so that we can group players more closely by their playing level and stage of development. This should give every player a better environment in which to learn, progress and be challenged at the right level, while also creating a clearer pathway as they develop their tennis.
If you registered your interest but haven’t yet received a message from me with my group recommendations, please let me know.
Booking your child's place
You can now book each term through our new booking system:
The new system should be much clearer and easier to use, particularly for those who previously had difficulties booking through the LTA website.
If you are booking siblings, use the discount code:
SIBLINGDISCOUNT
You can now add all of your children’s groups to the same basket rather than having to complete separate transactions.
Playing more than once per week
For players who would like to attend more than one group lesson each week, we offer additional discounts.
You will need to book each weekly group as a separate transaction so that you can apply the appropriate discount code to the additional lesson.

Coaching team update
Some of you may already know that Mytch has decided on a change of career and has now left the club. Mytch has been a very popular member of the coaching team and I’d like to thank him for everything he has done at the club and wish him all the best in his new career.
At the start of the summer holidays, I underwent major spine surgery, so unfortunately I’m going to be out of action on court for a little while. I’m hoping to start getting back on court as soon as I can, initially with some assistance with setting up and hitting!
In the meantime, I’ve been looking for another coach to join Betsy and Cerys. I’m really pleased to say that we have a very good coach – and excellent tennis player – joining the team towards the end of September.
For those who have weekly 1:1 lessons, I will be in touch soon. Betsy and I will take what we can for the first couple of weeks, but we may have to go week by week until the new coach arrives on 21st September. Then we can have slots for everyone.
I’m really looking forward to the new term and seeing everyone back on court!
